Best server for running I-trials?

Hi, I've just reactivated my sub cus I'd like to run the new content, and since I have these free server transfers now, I thought I'd ask what the best server for me to be on would be, if the main thing I want to do is run incarnate trials? Currently most of my characters are on Freedom, but I thought it was possible exalted or triumph or some other server might be a better choice.

Freedom has the most continually active population.

Virtue is great if you enjoy running the 'harder' and less often ran iTrials.

Union and Defiant really get going late, late night (e.g. 3-4 AM Pacific Standard Time) if you're an insomniac.

Many other servers get iTrials going during their peak times.

My personal favorite is Virtue. That said, Freedom is probably the fastest from league forming announcement time to trial completion time.

Freedom here..I cant really imagine trying to get one going on some of the other servers. Perhaps the 'easy' trails like BAFS...but a master UG etc?

I am sure its completly unrealistic..but it would be nice if maybe the LFG tool (not for a league that is formed by invites) somehow worked cross server, creating a temporary shard for the duration of the Trial itself.

An iTrial bus leaves Virtue's RWZ every 5 minutes.

*talks on behalf of Union in GMT*

On Union there are quite often iTrials being set up on a daily basis from 6pm GMT in pocket d. Sometimes [quite a lot lately with the trial buffs] you'll see them being run almost all day constantly, but its more of a safe bet to keep the channels open from 6pm.

Though only join them if . . . . you can avoid the green beam of doom! STILL need that badge on rashnu! I mean seriously, how hard is it to stop what your doing and run away from the green!

I only ran them on Freedom and Virtue (Freedom for the first time because I no longer care about my old 50s there except for my Stalker I hadn't played in more than 1 year - btw Necro was it you who gave me Fortitude? I was surprised somebody remembered to buff the lolStalker! - I was the only Stalker in all the 7 trials I ran today, BAF, Lambda and Keyes).

On Virtue, the global channels (especially Virtue LFG Beta, I think that's the name) announce them all the time, but if you prefer you can just go to RWZ. On Freedom the place to be is Pocket D, the global channels I'm on there don't get much use (weird because they're the ones with most users).

Really you can probably get them on a number of servers if you join the appropriate server-specific chat channels. Justice runs iTrials pretty regularly, and you'll hear about them on Justice United.

Pinnacle does it's fair share as well. Decent trialing community I'd say.

You can also get trials on Pinnacle in the evenings and weekends, and the occasional one during the day.

I've done trials on Pinnacle, Freedom, Virtue, and Champion, and I have to say I've had the highest failure rate on Freedom. I've also run some very good trials on Freedom, so it's definitely not all bad. If you're a regular and know who to run with I'd wager you would do well.

But it's really a quality vs. quantity issue; if you like running lots of pickup trials with random players who may have PLed their way to 50 then Freedom is your server. The afternoon Titan Weapons came out I ran a trial on Freedom that had three TW characters. It failed miserably, mostly because the leader insisted on running a "slam" and didn't want to take the time to do the trial in the "right" way. They apparently wanted only a shot at a very rare at the end. We didn't even get an astral for the warehouse because we ran out of time during that phase. So for 20 minutes of effort we basically got just a few threads instead of spending 25 minutes doing it the "right" way and getting twice as many threads, three astrals, an Empyrean and random roll on the table.

On the smaller servers certain individuals take it upon themselves to run the trials and they know how to do it. You don't them as often, but they're a lot more satisfying. And since a lot of the people running them are badgers, they want to do all the trials so they get the badges, which makes for a decent amount of variety.

Exalted has some good trial-runners, if you're a VIP.
